K-Pop Star Soyeon Opens Up About Her Anxieties and Life Goals on YouTube Show

Soyeon of (G)I-DLE shares her thoughts on life and longevity, not controversies.

On the YouTube channel 'Life84', Soyeon made a guest appearance on October 3rd.

When asked about her reason for appearing on the show, Soyeon humorously questioned, "Wasn't it because you invited me? Did we agree to this?" Kian84, the host, jokingly replied, "Did the company make you come? You don't seem to appear on variety shows much these days."

Soyeon explained, "Filming shows delays album production. I've been working on recording. A digital single was released on January 27th."

During a café chat, Soyeon expressed gratitude towards Kian84 for their challenge together. She mentioned her YouTube channel 'SsoRiSa', saying, "I started it to show my true self comfortably, but the overwhelming attention made me stop."

She confessed, "I'm not good under pressure. When creating songs, I check with every department in the company and am always cautious about potential issues. I'm so worried that even if trash falls from my pocket, I get startled."

Soyeon shared an anecdote about mistaking an emergency alert for a real war, packing her bags and leaving her house. "After that, I got my driver's license to escape by car," she revealed. "It's a secret. People think I don't care about anything, but I'm actually very worried."

When asked if she worries about controversies, Soyeon replied, "I'm most worried about dying. So many people die every day. I try to take care of my health to live long and reach 100 years old before passing away."

A known Buddhist, Soyeon added, "I don't want to be reborn. I want to live well in this era and return to nothingness." Kian84 suggested, "Let's visit a temple together next time," bringing laughter.

Meanwhile, Soyeon previously revealed that her highest monthly royalty earnings were 1 billion KRW (approximately 10 million USD).
